Deciding that yet
another
VAIO series was needed, Sony intro'd the new VAIO SZ
series of laptops. The under one-inch thick SZ's are wrapped in a lightweight carbon-fiber casing, keeping the weight
under 4 pounds. Sony uses a white LED backlight behind the 13.3-inch XBRITE widescreen display to save power, plus you
can toggle between on-board or external chip to conserve even more. for up to 7 hours of juice. Other important specs
include an available integrated EDGE radio, biometric fingerprint sensor, G-Sensor shock protection, and built in mic
and camera for video-conferencing. Expect the new SZ's this spring starting just under $2,000 for the base and moving
on up from there.

Sleek but fragile

Sexy. I would get one.... if $2500 just fell out of nowhere into my hands.

Looks like Apple got some competition. I still think my iBook is sexier though and its whats inside that counts too :)

iBooks are ugly and really slow. I love Sony Vaio's but when are they going to make a Tablet Notebook.

i wonder what resolution that 13.3" widescreen will be. anyone know? 1280x720 like the rumored iBook, or high rez than that?

unlucky:
Probably 1280x800, like the old Vaio S series

Other VAIO SZ Specs:
1.66 Dual Core / 1.83 Dual Core processors available
NVidia GeForce Go 7400. You can switch to Intel integrated graphics to save power.

Sony-Vaio Machines are the worst, they die soon... its not the looks that matter but how quick the machine works and what kind of support you get from manufacturers... i personally think there are much better products in the market ... dont just go for the name Sony
